International Baccalaureate (IB) Examinations
The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences recognizes the rigor of the International Baccalaureate program and grants college credit for students who demonstrate strong performance (scores of 7, 6, and 5) on Higher Level exams. Credit is not given for grades of 4 or lower or for Subsidiary/Standard Level exams.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Program students must submit a copy of their IB score report via email to first_year@sebs.rutgers.edu as soon as it is available for proper course placement. Official certificates must also be sent to earn college credit.
